SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the management of reusable flow templates, allowing users to easily list, create, and extract templates for consistent workflow development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Template Listing: View available flow templates stored locally.
  • Template Creation: Generate new flow templates from existing flows.
  • Template Instantiation: Create new flows based on predefined templates.
  • Use Case: A team lead wants to ensure all new project setups follow a standardized process. They can use flow-formula to distill a successful project's flow into a template, which then team members can easily "pour" to start new projects.

Quick Start

List all available flow templates by running the command $flow:formula list.

Frequently Asked Questions about flow-formula

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create reusable workflow templates for AI-assisted development?

You can create reusable workflow templates by extracting existing flows into abstracted, file-based templates. This ensures consistent AI-assisted development by preserving placeholder abstraction rules for future instantiation.

What is the best way to standardize project setup workflows across a team?

Standardizing project setup workflows is achieved by distilling a successful project's flow into a reusable template. Team members can then instantiate new projects from that predefined template to ensure process consistency.

How do I list available flow templates stored locally?

You can list available flow templates stored locally by running the designated list command. This displays all existing file-based workflow templates available for instantiation in your development environment.

Do I need specific dependencies to manage flow templates for development workflows?

No external dependencies are required to manage flow templates. The system operates entirely on a file-based storage mechanism, requiring only adherence to placeholder abstraction rules when creating or instantiating templates.

Can I instantiate new flows directly from existing abstracted templates?

Yes, you can instantiate new flows directly from predefined abstracted templates. This process generates a new development workflow based on the stored template while maintaining the required placeholder structure.

When should I use file-based template management for development workflows?

File-based template management should be used when you need consistent, repeatable AI-assisted development workflows. It is ideal for extracting successful processes into templates and pouring them into new project setups.
